The Cloud Maker’s music celebrates goddesses from each of the five female master musician’s cultures. Channelling ancient tales of fierce battles, shaman dances, journeys to the after-life, and a moth goddess singing the most beautiful song of all time. Featuring Taonga Pūoro (Maori singing treasures), Bass clarinet, Harmonic flutes, Cello, Nyckelharpa (Nordic fiddle), Prepared Piano, Drums and Voices, The Cloudmaker harness the power of these archetypal stories to transport listeners across time and space. Woven together through sound and performance, they remember ancient bloodlines and breathe new life into old stories.
Winner of the APRA AMCOS Art Music Award (Performance of the Year). Their debut album will be released in February 2024 on Skinnyfish Music.
Created on unceded Wurundjeri land.
This project has been supported by The APRA AMCOS Art Music Fund, the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, the PPCA, and the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body.
